SO WHAT EXACTLY IS A WHITE ELEPHANT EVENING?
No doubt over the years you’ve all been given a present that you really didn’t like / need / want. It’s probably very nice – it just isn’t you. Well here’s your chance to exchange it for something else more to your liking and go home satisfied (though in truth we can’t really guarantee that). What we can guarantee, though, is that you’ll enjoy the funny side of the evening.
The only thing we insist upon is that the gift must be new and unused and it must have some value that someone else would appreciate. And at least one item per participant. If you bring two or three then you will go home with the same amount as you brought. The items must be wrapped in newspaper or whatever making them unidentifiable.
The actual rules of the game will be explained at the start of the evening.
JACKIES HOB HOLIDAY TO EILAT 6th to 10th November. At the Laguna Hotel Eilat – All-inclusive Full Board including Afternoon Tea. Only 1900 NIS per person sharing double room, please note payment can be made with three post-dated cheques.

This trip is in the planning stage. Please let Jackie know if you are interested.
We are hoping to have a half-day tiyul to the Yvel Jewellery Design Centre in Ramat Moza near Jerusalem. They specialise in jewellery made with pearls, emeralds, sapphires and naturallycoloured diamonds. Please let Jackie know if you are interested, this would not be a commitment.
First we will visit Tzipori. The sophisticated ancient northern city is the site of one of Israel’s most interesting archeological sites. It has wonderful mosaics that tell a story of life nearly 2,000 years ago.
The we shall visit the amazing Agamon Hula. You may have visited before but we are taking a special tour as the birds come home to roost. We will start with a tour around the lake in our bus and then board the ‘Safari Wagon’ for a very close encounter with the birds. This tour will be at dusk and they tell us it is just a splendid sight to see all the birds coming down for some rest and sleep.
